Question Can the Tomtom2 Program be stored on the CF card?

Ive been using TomTom2 successfully for around 10 months on an Ipaq 3630, but have had several occaisions where everything freezes up ... which usually happens when its not plugged into the car supply when I`m planning the next days route.
[All Computers Crash .. Its a way of Life]
If I`m out in the middle of nowhere, I`d like to be able to do a Hard reset to the Ipaq & reload TomTom2 from the CF card, instead of waiting till I get home & reloaded from PC.
If someone dosnt have a PC & wants to use TomTom2 it seems a logical thing to do, especially if its not used for anything else.
Is this Possible ??
((Please Dont be too Technical in any answer as I`m a relative Novice to Ipaqs))
At present I have a 128Mb card but would get a 256Mb if it made this possible.

Thanks

Restyle i don’t recommend trying to install everything to the storage card, tom tom does require having certain data on the PDA itself. However am trying to remember your PDA, it may have a backup utility under the programs or settings folder. All of the more recent models (PPC2002+) have the backup utility which as you would say is a life saver. I don’t have anything here with PPC2000 which am sure your PDA runs, have a look and tell me how you get on.

Thanks for the Quick reply Stevie

I Did a Memory Flash (I think its called), to upgrade its operating system last year & under the Settings > About Page, it says It has Pocket PC Version 3.0.11171, & says "Microsoft Mobile" on the Desktop Page, so I think this is compatible with (PPC2002+)

Under The Programs Headings there a CF Backup icon, which when opened has the Heading CF Backup / Restore.
The BACKUP Menu has a list of things, (none of which can be highlighted), in it including SETTINGS (187.6KB) & SYSTEM PROGRAMS (4384.57KB), But the "START" Button is Shaded out & cant be pressed.
The RESTORE Menu has a similar list which has the word "-NONE" next to each.
Under SETTINGS > SYSTEM > MEMORY > STORAGE CARD, it says I`m using 97MB & Have 24.8MB Free. Would this be enough space to hold the Tomtom2 Program or would either a larger card be rqd or Smaller Maps installed ??
So Given that I think I have a Backup / Restore Feature, Just how do I go about using Them ??
(Please Remember to Describe any procedure in Simple "Step by Step" terms)
Thanks
